Stephanie Lipinski from Hanson Insurance Agency – Feb 2010

Congratulations to Stephanie Lipinski from Hanson Insurance Agency

I have been with the SSWBN for over 12 years and it has been invaluable for me. The Network has provided me with the opportunity to build strong, personal relationships with people who I never would have met. It has been an encyclopedia of business knowledge from wonderful people whom I know I can trust. Throughout the twelve years of membership, I have become a better networker and that has given me more confidence when I am with large groups of people.

From a business standpoint, I’ve made great business connections and have received business knowledge which has helped my own business. Plus, I’ve been able to help the Network members with their insurance needs: this has meant so much to me. I have also received referrals through those in the Network and I am so appreciative to those in the Network for the referrals.

I would recommend to non-members of the SSWBN to definitely join. As one who has been in business for 30 years, the Network has been a great place to make connections and receive business knowledge, for which I am grateful. Network members are a resource for me and I am here to be a resource for others.

I would recommend that Network members get involved and become active in getting to know other members. Ask members what they do and find ways you can help them in their business and likewise, explore ways in which they can help you and your business. We’re here to support one another. That’s what it’s all about.

In addition, try to get on a committee. You’ll learn so much and it also gives you the opportunity to make more connections with people who have a wealth of knowledge about many things.

I really appreciate this opportunity to acknowledge the members and the Network for all it has meant to me over the years. I have made such great friends and I look forward to making new friends and business relationships in the New Year.
